Pekka’s sole existence these days is either to bridge spam, or because people just hates mega knights to an extent

I've been using P.E.K.K.A in my deck for years, I don't care how bad she is. I just love using her

The recent range buff definetly helped quite a lot

Pekka is still scary because nobody expects their opponent to use her. 💀

2:36 The Finnish translation does not refer to P.E.K.K.A. as male. Finnish does not have gender specific pronouns, nor does the description contain a word specifying gender. Finnish does however translate horribly with Google translate, which is where the mistake is

28:45 and 29:32 Gratz was so stunned by the collision radius. he mentioned it twice

The name P.E.K.K.A comes from a common Finnish male name Pekka. It was not originally an acronym in the beta stages of Clash of Clans. It likely started as an inside joke between the devs.

I still prefer to think Pekka says 'Fucking Die' when deployed, makes more sense in my head.

The old P.E.K.K.A. Walking Animation was something else 😂

I love tuning into these videos to get detailed information about PEKKAs reproduction cycle, very informative!

Btw the P.E.K.K.A. acronym comes from the Finnish male name of Pekka, since supercell is a Finnish company. Though Pekka is refered to as a female in the finnish version too, because Finnish doesn't have gender specific pronouns. Hope this helped.

"The PEKKA is infact female" Rule34 artists: *sharpens pencils*

perfect timing for my food

Even though P.E.K.K.A isnt a good card, I do not think there’s anything more satisfying that managing to make this monster connect to the tower.

> has 2 swords > uses only 1

I've been on and off CR throught its years. Been playing since 2017 with some year long pauses, but ever since I unlocked PEKKA I've never took her out of my deck. Even when I stopped playing bc I was frustrated with the meta, I always came back to play with her. Today I got a new account bc I lost the other one (the new one is 3 months old) and she still part of it, and she's responsable for my greatest trophy run ever since I started in 2017 with almost 7000 tropgies. Long live the PEKKA 🙌🏾

3 days later: BATTLERAM EVOLUTION

Honestly, all I wanna see is for PEKKA to one-shot more cards. ESPECIALLY against Royal Hogs. I agree with you there. I’d maybe go further though. +7.1% Damage buff would let it two-shot Hog Riders at the very least, as well as one-shot heavily-overleveled Wizards & Musketeers. It wouldn’t really hurt Hog Rider decks all that much since they tend to be in a very fast cycle deck anyway.

Thanks for making a video on my favourite card in the game! Ever since I got Pekka, I have always used her in my deck.

I have never played a single match of this game ever. Only heard of it. And I proceeded to sit through every minute of a documentary of a game that I have never played. This was insanely well made, comprehensive, nicely edited. Keep up the good work.

Gratz repeating the same exact thing about how the Pekka could reach across the bridge/river shows how big of a deal that is

Thank you for the video ❤

This video brought back a lot of nostalgia for someone who has used the pekka since I got the game back in 2017. Seeing all the PBS and pekka ram rider variations that defined how I played the game brought back a lot of great memories, so thank you for that :)

I was an ultimate champion player with 9000 trophies in old days, but I quoted this game after magic items uptake. One day, I found this channel in my recommendations and I started to feel bad about leaving cr, so I started it again to see how it goes for a beginner. Thank you for pulling me back. I enjoy your contents since it reminds me of very old things.

Love the effort and research and effort that goes into every video

12:48 ‘it was too much for this *butterfly menace* to handle’ got me laughing on the ground 😂

Good to see gratz back! Keep the vids comin in bud❤❤

Dude, youre musical choices for these videos are immaculate. Zelda, Xenoblade Chronicles, Hollow Knight, Terraria Calamity(?) Great work.

Needless to say, you made my day with this video

I love your videos even though I haven’t been active since November.

Thank you for another amazing video i can tell you put a lot of effort into it

Great video man. I would like to see in the future a video about the history of sparky, or about the fisherman. I hope to see your channel grow, and good luck with the future from an Italian fan❤

I love discussing proper gender assignments about biomechanical tank killers in my card game

Tysm for posting the name of the songs 🫶

I like how on your last video I told you to make a pekka video and you did. Thank you.

Really well written video essay as always, please talk about clone next

Can't imagine how long it takes to edit these vids, we appreciate it man 🙌🙌

Love your videos man! I've watched every one of them like 3 times! Keep up the good work.

Hey man! Clash of Clans and Clash Royale veteran here. I started playing both games at release but unfortunately quit a few years back because both games got so messy. I gotta say though, I really enjoyed this type of video. Very nostalgic and cool to see what the old troops went through over the years I missed, new troops and what the meta looks like today. I would love to see a whole video dedicated to my boy Dark Prince (and the Goblin Barrel). Keep up the good work!

Always love your vids. Keep at it

bro made a documentary on a clash royale card 😭😭

The new buff is kinda crazy ngl

Been waiting for this Gratz...thx 👍 !

i absolutely love this card and i wish it was more respected ur video made me wanna play again to test out different deck ideas for her to desperately find a deck for her to work in (i don't like bridge spam, i want pekka to be the win condition) before clicking i didn't even know she got her range buff again cuz cwa stopped making cr content! i hope her evolution comes soon and i hope i have some success with her thanks for making this video

Always great to see a new Gratz video (I rewatch his current videos a lot)

Finally a video for my favorite card ever!❤

Thank you for making this :) I’ve been a pekka player since beta, up until I quit the game when champions were released. It was a fun trip down nostalgia road, and I loved seeing decks I used to play get mentioned.

Hi, I'm from Colombia, I knew your channel since 2022, at that time I was not interested in watching videos of YT channels in another language other than Spanish, but when I met your channel everything changed, you make amazing videos, I love the editing, research and narration of each of your videos, you deserve more recognition. I would love that in a future video you would tackle the history of the Mega Minion, it's my favorite card in Clash Royale and a video with your quality would be amazing.

Great video, been subbed to you for a while and I love the PEKKA in both coc and cr so im glad you did a video on her! I would love to see a story video on the balloon next!

44:07 "Just wait until the cards that synergise really well with Pekka... get evolutions" Sweats profusely in confirmed battle ram evolution

a new amazing vid Keep doing amazing videos like this 👍

Hey man I jsut want you to know that I love the work and I hope you keep up with it! Don’t overwork yourself but keep up this great content it’s always a treat!

Hey Gratz, thanks for this sharing this video! I loved learning about the PEKKA. I personally think she has one of the best designs in the game. I’d love to see a history of the Royal Ghost or Battle Healer. Keep up the great work :D

funny thing is, i often didint had problems whit pekka decks because i used a jack of all trades deck that was good at stalling whit decent damage what even put down a pekka. it of course would take a bit what gives the other person time but i played my deck in a way that would keep momentum going if more troops arrive. over time the enemie would outweight me in power eventualy so i always had atleast 1 card whit good sunstain AOE and 1 card that can focus down my problem while his other troops are distracted whit whatever i send against them. the reason i ended up quiting the game was because so many decks just, put down 2 tanks or 1 tank and a royal giant and just spam whatever the enemy seems fit. they always had a direct damage card like fireball to. that is something my deck was helpless about because it relied on stalling what wont work whit such brainless spam because the stuff robbing me the needed time was always unreachable for my troops and i never had more than 2 building only troops in a deck. pekka was easyer to focus down while still dealing whit other troops. i keept playing the variations of this deck because it was the only deck i was consistently winning whit until that time. a skill issue i guess. looking at this deck now, there are so many cards now that have a good chance to cheese my deck that i probably cant use it anymore

Ur videos are very hight quality and i always enjoy them👍

Love the video as always. I would prefer to see a video on golem. One of my favorite cards that hasn’t been touched in a while

Pekka is actually a very common finish name. I think that is the origin of the name because supercel is a finish company.

28:45 and 29:29 Small nitpick, but same argument was made twice about the range over the river. Great video otherwise, really nostalgic about the pekka and pretty much use her all the time

we need vids on sparky or elixir pump definitely keep up the good work

stumbled apon this channel and loving the way you do these videos, did not know crash royale had this much lore. jesus lol

44:07 gotta love that next evolution in April 😂

2:35 Finnish speaker here. In Finnish there is only one pronoun for describing someone in 3rd person "hän" and it is used for both genders so that can be translated to "her fists" as well

already know that this video gonna be fire

Love your videos, keep up the good work

I'm here to correct you on something! In Finnish it does not say anything about P.E.K.K.A being a male since Finland uses gender neutral gender pronouns, but it gets translated to he in English most of the time! (But it's weird since Pekka is a male name)

I'm honestly appalled that CoC got called Royale's sister game as if it wasn't the foundation of the entirety of Supercell. It's the original, CR is the cheap f**king knockoff. (JK boom beach takes that trophy easily)

woah new video so fast this is a surprise

A very well spoken and beautiful way to explain the history of the cards and game. Makes me nostalgic to see how many changes actually happened and is nice to have proof when I explain. Please make an ice wizard video I'm interested to see what you think and feel about him. My favorite card of all time regardless of ridiculous "reworks"

Pekka: Nah i'd adapt.

i’m a pekka player and will always be a pekka player i find them just so much fun no matter what

Great Video! Could you do one about goblin drill? Im just concerned as its either completly meta or completly off meta

Pekka has always been one of my favorite cards. I loved using her in low ladder when ebarb spam was everywhere. Great video!

At first when you mentioned it's gender I was like why the fuck should anyone even care but then it actually got lowkey interesting

40:40, ah yes this didnt age poorly.

It's like UKposts knows... I haven't watched a video in a while and randomly last night UKposts suggested I watch one of the 4 videos I'm not caught up on. Clearly in an attempt to catch me up for one you dropped a new video today 😅

I’ve been waiting for this guy to make a Pekka video becuase it’s my favorite troop, used to be a mini Pekka fan when I first played

Butterfly?

Actually Pekka is a finnish male name and when you mentioned the finnish language referring pekka as a he 2:36 finnish language actually has only gender neutral pronouns

Man it's good to see the old cards being appreciated, thank you 😊

Very cool video. I personnaly continued to OTP Pekka Double Prince since years and years now and I just reached ultimate (finally) evo zap helped me a lot. I actually find the recent buff for the pekka very appreciable.

0:35 The skill of a card(whether is bad or good) depends mostly on win rate, not usage.

He and she and other words like that are made to be the same words in finnish. So translation pretty much always get confused. Also the finnish version of the texts dosen't say anything about gender eather

Great video as usual. Can we get a history of the Sparky next?

thank you love your videos💙 Could you please make a video about graveyard next

5 views in the first 30 seconds bro fell off smh

Your channel is my main sorce of music now. And I dont even play clash royale more than one match per day

Good stuff, PEKKA definitely warranted a video. Would love to see one on baby dragon if you aren't working on one already.

I needed this video, I'm gonna see it now

Fun fact, Before the creation of Clash of Clans, there was a Facebook game called Backyard Monsters, which was pretty much the same concept of CoC. In Backyard Monsters, there was a monster called D.A.V.E., which was a robot monster with high health and damage, with a large housing space. CoC creators mentioned their inspiration from the old Facebook game upon its release. This is likely why P.E.K.K.A., a high health, damage, and housing space troop, has an abbreviated name

Fav card and fav clash royal creator waited for this video so long thanks ❤

you have all my respect for running the guild wars sound track in your videos

Looking at the top ladder, looks like lots of people are playing pbs after the buff, however I feel like buffs or an evo that benefits the versitility of the pekka is the way to go. Either way, amazing video!

i ain't played CR in years, and recent additions make me reluctant to get back into it, but regardless these videos are really nice to watch. learning the history of cards for a game i used to play is pretty entertaining. i think for other card histories, i might suggest the lumberjack or mini P.E.K.K.A

FINALLY, THE VIDEO I WAS SOLELY WAITING FOR

God i feel old after I remembering Pekka Double Prince. I've always liked videos centered around a game's meta and even if I no longer play Clash Royale, it's nice reminiscing while enjoying your content

I would love a video about the Lava Hound! Your videos are so well detailed that it seems like going back to the beta days

Bro the music you use in your videos is from like the exact same franchises I like... mario galaxy, fullmetal alchemist, etc... you use that music because u like those franchises for sure, and it matches up perfectly with what I like it's crazy

I just got back into Clash Royale, and I am LOVING these videos. Theres just something relaxing and entertaining about these Clash Royale history videos.

The music choice in these videos is so good. I love the green path hk ost

Bro you actually listened to my request!
